Reconstructing enzyme evolution by protein engineering

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Natural enzyme evolution can be retraced by protein engineering methods such as directed evolution, rational design, and ancestral sequence reconstruction. These approaches reveal how enzymes emerged from ligand‐binding scaffolds, developed varying substrate preferences, formed oligomeric complexes, adapted to environmental changes, and evolved novel ...

Electrical interface design for additively manufactured polymer anodes for biophotovoltaic systems

Frontiers in Microbiology
IntroductionReliable electrical interfacing between additively manufactured conductive polymer anodes and external circuits remains a key challenge in biophotovoltaic (BPV) systems, particularly due to debonding failures during operation. This study aims

Tumour–host interactions in Drosophila: mechanisms in the tumour micro‐ and macroenvironment

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
This review examines how tumour–host crosstalk takes place at multiple levels of biological organisation, from local cell competition and immune crosstalk to organism‐wide metabolic and physiological collapse. Here, we integrate findings from Drosophila melanogaster studies that reveal conserved mechanisms through which tumours hijack host systems to ...

Circulating microRNA signatures of cachexia and cancer in Canis familiaris as a comparative oncology model for human disease

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Circulating microRNAs as biomarkers of cachexia and sex‐specific cancer in senior dogs. In 25 client‐owned dogs, four circulating miRNAs (miR‐15a, miR‐15b, miR‐16, miR‐140) were downregulated in cachexia, with miR‐16 the strongest individual biomarker (AUC = 0.899).

Chemically and biologically activated biochars as potential inoculant carriers, biofertilizers or plant disease suppressors

Chemical and Biological Technologies in Agriculture
Background The interaction of biochar with beneficial microorganisms and its role as a plant disease suppressor has garnered significant research interest, yet these roles in activated or oxidized biochars remain insufficiently explored.

Avoidable Household Food Waste: Diagnosing the Links between Causes and Composition

Recycling, 2021
Problems associated with the wastage of food intended for human consumption are well known and the discarding of edible but unconsumed food—avoidable food waste—is clearly undesirable.

Intelligent Tutoring Systems for Adult Learning in STEM Disciplines

New Directions for Adult and Continuing Education, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Intelligent tutoring systems (ITS) are reshaping adult learning in STEM by providing adaptive, data‐driven instruction across classrooms, workplaces, and informal environments. In the context of ITS, this article compares generative AI, which creates personalized explanations and practice materials, with explainable AI, which focuses on ...
